Steps in making manioc bread, Congo, ca.1920-1940

“Négrillonnes élevées chez les Sœurs, à la fabrication du pain de manioc (Congo Belge).” Young women at the mission school work at the various tasks in preparing cassava bread. Some are shown pounding the root while others grind the flour and knead the dough. A missionary sister teacher oversees the work as hens roam nearby. The following information is printed on the back of the postcard: "Prions pour les Missions d’Afrique: secourons-les par l’intermediaire de la Sodalité de S. Pierre Claver-Maison Centrale: Rome (23) – Via dell’Olmata, 16 Fribourg Rue Zachringen, 96. La chose la plus divine parmi les divines, est de coupexer au salut des aimes." Several lines in French are handwritten on the back.
